I AM The Resurrection And The Life - Part 2

Tune: Richmond

(\'City of God, how broad and far\')

John 11 v.38-44

**********

Gathered at Lazarus\' tomb there

In sorrow they did share

Jesus said, \"Take away the stone\"

In spirit He did groan

 

Martah, Lazarus\' sister said

\"Lord, four days he be dead

By this time he will smell, decayed

In tomb he has been laid\"

 

Jesus said, \"Said I not to you

If you would believe true

You would see God\'s glory revealed

Not hidden, not concealed\"

 

They moved the stone, Jesus eyes raised

To Father prayed and praised

Said, \"Father I thank you, you hear

Me always, to me near\"

 

But because of those which stand by

I said it, so that nigh

To them they may know you, believe

You sent me, no deceive

 

Then \"Lazarus, come forth\", He loud

Called out amid the crowd

And he that was dead came forth bound

Thanksgiving did resound

 

He with grave-clothes bound hands and feet

And in burial sheet

Face covered with napkin, made way

Out to the light of day

 

Jesus said to them, \"Now him free

Loose him from grave-clothes, see

And let him go\", this miracle

He showed there unto all
